Topic: A world of references! (Read 736 times)

So would you like to be able to travel to a specific location anywhere in the world that you would like to paint??

Well Ive come across a really nifty way to do that . Youve all heard of google street view im sure? So why not use it as a reference for your art? I am for example wanting to try a piazza scene and i zipped my way to Italy in a matter of seconds. The cool thing is is that you can pan around the image to get the composition you are looking for and take it from there...and you go anywhere you want to!

I think its great!!

Hope this is useful to you all...

Below is a link to the piazza that im toying with, just got to find the perfect angle...

There was a group I came across a few years back on youtube I think.... they used to pick an area, and you would go and find it and paint the angle that you liked best. I had forgotten about them after one of my computers crashed and I lost the site.

This could be quite fun to use in one of the challenges.....

Thanks Trev!
